Helios Gear Products offers a line of machine tools from YG Tech, called NEO Power Skiving or NEOPS, that serve gear manufacturers seeking a power skiving solution.
"Gear manufacturers for powertrain systems will welcome this new competitor in the marketplace for its affordable price, high technology, productivity, quick delivery and domestic support," said Adam Gimpert, President of Helios.
"Internal or external spur or helical gears are candidates for power skiving-in particular, those that may traditionally require shaping due to clearance requirements," said a company spokesperson. "Compared to shaping, power skiving offers a gear tooth generating operation that is a fraction of the time. Consequently, NEO Power Skiving allows the manufacture of gears with a game-changing level of productivity and profitability. This is achieved with a continuous process where the cutting tool is constantly producing small cuts, whereas traditional shaping has unavoidable idle backstrokes that reduce productivity."
The NEO Power Skiving line includes the model 200 and model 400 with capacities for parts up to 420 mm (16.535") in diameter and a pitch rating of 4 module (6.35 DP). The machines use high quality components such as direct-drive torque motors for the work and cutter spindles, FANUC 0i MF CNC and precision linear scales. Key optional features include automatic tool changer, deburring, cutting tool resharpening and automatic loading/unloading.
"Helios is the fastest-growing supplier of precision gear cutting tools in North America with dedicated application engineers to ensure your power skiving projects are successfully launched and implemented," said the spokesperson. "Helios engineers support and train manufacturers on each application, including workholding strategies, cutting tools and their coatings, machining parameters, automation and more."
